Now, I’m truly not super judgmental, but this has always felt to me like a big marketing maneuver.

She’s 16 when she marries him. She proceeds to dress hookerishly. Yeah, I know it’s not a word. And she’s clearly been trying to get some type of career going. I haven’t seen Doug in much of anything for years (but that doesn’t mean anything) so I kinda figured this had run it’s course. I hope none of you are too broken up about this.

And Oh My God – IGGY AND THE STOOGES!!! It’s like a ancient pseudo punk’s DREAM. Of course, I can’t go to Cali. I have my daughter’s field day tomorrow and other, you know, mom stuff to do. But part of my heart will be on that ship, drinking tequila, getting inked and seeing the bands that helped me vent most of that crankiness out in my actual teen years!!!

What an amazing find!! Thank you to Olivia from one of my all time favorite blogs Yummy Wakame. It blows my mind thinking…was there a next door neighbor all this time? A series of them? Whoever lived beneath this apartment must have been so happy to never hear footsteps!

This is an amazing site that contains artwork done by former residents/patients of a hellhole mental hospital that shut down in the early 2000s. People were put there because they didn’t go to school, or they were unwed moms, were born with Down syndrome, or just basically didn’t fit into society. For more info on the history of Lennox Castle, click here. Warning, it’s heartbreaking stuff.

Now, clearly the dude thought that the person was drunk and just chilling in the middle of the road. But couldn’t he tell that maybe something was a bit off? You know, while taking a picture and posting to Twitter? I can’t see how it would have hurt to call 999 (911 here) and get the cops to come anonymously.

The thing that bothers me almost as much as this cavalier tweet is the comments blaming Americans, blaming Brits, blaming rap culture for the rampant insensitivity. You can blame me, you can blame yourself and everyone around us for it. Look at these kids that bully to the point of victim suicide. Do you think they’re sorry? Dude, they’re not sorry. That’s a victory to them. And there’s something seriously wrong here. In my day, we called those people sociopaths. Today they just have a personality disorder. In my mind, we call this criminal harassment, yet we insist on calling it bullying. We’re insensitive, and it’s OUR fault. It’s not just here in the US or in Britain. It’s everywhere. I want your feedback on this peeps. Thank you!
